Donald J. Trump Early Voting Act; create.
HB 355, the "Donald J. Trump Early Voting Act," would have required Mississippi to implement a standardized 14-day early voting period for all elections (including primaries, general, runoff, special, and municipal elections), beginning 14 days before election day and ending at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday before. It would have mandated that early voting occur at county registrar offices during regular business hours, with additional locations required based on population (one per 30,000 county voters), and required public notice of voting hours in three locations eight days prior. The bill would have directly affected Mississippi voters by expanding early voting access and election officials by imposing new operational requirements. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
